Director, Content and Data Partnerships

Role

This role exists to accelerate Rogo’s content and data business globally. It reports directly to the President and owns the relationships, commercial structures, and strategic initiatives to scale Rogo’s content ecosystem.

This role will also help define the commercial and licensing models for financial content in an AI-native world. Many of these arrangements will have no established market precedent. Success requires strong commercial judgment, fluency in the financial data ecosystem, comfort with complex rights and economics, and the ability to turn signed agreements into differentiated products that customers use and value.

Specifically, the role involves

• Developing Rogo’s global content and data partnership strategy, including market mapping, partner prioritization, and a multi-year content roadmap
• Owning stakeholder relationships with commercial decision-makers at financial data, research, and info-services platforms globally
• Leading negotiation of partnership contracts with content providers - many of which are novel agreements without standard market precedent
• Establish frameworks for AI-native content use, including model usage rights, derived outputs, attribution, entitlements, auditability, and redistribution
• Designing and implementing novel commercialization models that align Rogo’s platform with the evolving economics of content consumption
• Feeding directly into product and commercial strategy, in partnership with Sales, Post-Sales, and Marketing - how Rogo bundles, prices, and brings content to market will be shaped significantly by this role
• Partnering with Sales, Post-Sales, and Marketing to shape how Rogo packages, prices, positions, and brings content-enabled products to market
• Collaborating with Legal and Finance on intellectual-property rights, compliance requirements, contractual risk, and complex deal economics
• Working cross-functionally with Product and Engineering to translate partnership requirements into platform capabilities
• Helping define Rogo’s external point of view on AI-era content economics and represent the company with senior industry stakeholders
